What to Order: Chili Szechuan’s Signature Dishes

These are the dishes regulars come back for first:

Spicy Grilled Fish (麻辣烤鱼)

Our most-ordered dish and the table centerpiece — a whole fish grilled, then finished in bubbling mala chili oil with bean sprouts and Sichuan peppercorns.

Mao Xue Wang (毛血旺)

Mao xue wang in rich Sichuan red-oil broth

The Chongqing classic: duck blood, tripe, and beef simmered in a rich red-oil broth. Available milder on request.

Boiled Beef & Dry Pot (水煮牛 · 干锅)

Tender beef slices under a layer of sizzling chili-peppercorn oil, and a wok-seared dry pot with chilies — no broth, all fragrance — with your pick of protein.

Dan Dan Noodles & Zhong Dumplings

Dan dan noodles with sesame and chili oil

The appetizer favorites: Chengdu-style dan dan noodles in sesame and chili oil, and pork zhong dumplings in sweet-spicy red oil.

Tofu & Vegetables

A full 14-dish tofu section — mapo tofu, kung pao tofu, cumin tofu, and more — plus a vegetables section (dry-fried green beans, hand-torn cabbage) and vegetarian dumplings.
